    Well, I have a light on him, not directly, but around the tank, because he's in a room that's dark. My apartment doesn't see much sun. Which is why I figured he should have a low watt low uv light on because I know the tropical frogs like himself don't get exposed to much int he wild. However what I thought was a reptile lighting hood was a fish lighting hood. The light IS currently incandescent, but I thought it was a UV fluorescent. Thanks for the info I didn't realize all UVB lights, as it looks, are fluorescent. Mine have always been on the dim side. I guess that's a good thing.

    Yeah some are dim. The jungle UVB lights aren't terribly bright, but are still have fairly high output. Another con of fluorescents is that you aren't supposed to use them with the lamps with a dimmer switch so you can't adjust the brightness.
